| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody, I'm Dennis Prager, this is the Fireside Chat, that's the Fireside, I'm the Chat, |
| 0:05.2 | that's the dog, how's he doing? That's Otto. Arguably, as I have said in the past, but I should say |
| 0:12.5 | this law, I don't want it to hear it, a little conceited, he might be the best-known dog in America |
| 0:18.3 | today. Not only America, around the world. I just looked now, we got questions from all over the |
| 0:25.3 | world from Africa and from the Middle East, from the Caribbean. Anyway, that's Otto, who's |
| 0:32.5 | very special, but everybody thinks they're dog special. Isn't that the truth? I guess to a certain |
| 0:38.6 | extent, I guess everybody's dog is special. Although I'm telling you, I want to do an hour of radio |
| 0:44.0 | once, because I love to talk about everything. I'm going to ask people to call in, |

| 1:57.2 | say it about my own ideas. Let's be honest, if I didn't think I had something important to say, |
| 2:03.1 | would it might be a fool for taking up your time? Anyway, you wouldn't spend the time, so that's |
| 2:10.7 | the other point. Anyway, they are important. I just remind you, before we begin, I am delighted to |
| 2:17.2 | tell you that today's episode of the Fireside Chat is sponsored by Colorado Christian University. |
